Depart the pier for a scenic one-hour drive to La Maison des Vins -- the House of Wines -- in Les Arcs. The Maison is located on the ground floor of a new, traditionally styled building with a stucco exterior, wide stone terrace and lovely reflecting pool and fountain. The large tasting room features an attractive wall of wines, with each bottle lit from behind to emphasize the different colors
You will be welcomed by a wine specialist who will provide information about the Côtes de Provence appellation. Learn about the history, geography, and production of the wines, as well as how to serve, evaluate and taste each varietal. Following your introduction, enjoy a tasting of delicious wines accompanied by bread or crackers. Time is afforded for you to explore the Maison, or you may wish to acquire some bottles to add to your own collection from the expansive selection.
Next, you'll stop at Domaine de Saint Martin in Taradeau. This elegant chateau has a distinguished history dating back to the 18th century. The castle still belongs to the original family and is renowned in Provence for its exceptional cultural and architectural heritage. Here you will have an opportunity to have a guided tasting of some of their award-winning wines before exploring the chateau grounds.
Following this wine discovery, return to the pier.
